The game isn't, but many of the game decisions are.

Not making a point here. I just like the picture.

And the leadoff hitter is the speedy centerfielder with a lot of stolen bases.

He batting in a good RBI spot.

It's an important spot in the order, but the #2 spot is more important. The idea that the best hitter should bat 3rd is just an old fisherman's tale.

He primarily batted 4th last year (88 games), which is the best RBI position, although not the best run poroduction position. He led the league in most RBI and runs mostly because he was their best hitter and played the most games.

I think you didn't read my post.

The best spot for overall run production is the #2 spot. By run production, I mean being involved in run scoring, either by runs scored, RBI or getting a hit that puts a runner (who eventually scores) into scoring position .

LOL, he deliberately misled people for profit. He is probably getting ready for a presidential run.

The other problem is they have created an environment where the best pitchers pitch 5-6 innings and that forces them to carry 13 pitchers.

This sounds awesome if it really happens. https://www.businessinsider.com/onion-ceo-plans-taking-over-infowars-alex-jones-sandy-hook-2026-4

Nobody can develop enough of them. There are 30 teams and 13 pitchers per staff. That's 390 pitchers and a third of them will get injured during the year. That's a lot of elite arms.

That field is only about 40 minutes from me. I should go watch a high school game there some day.

Flaherty is not typically this wild. Unless he has some kind of injury, he should settle down. He'll probably always be inconsistent, but he won't issue 6+ bb/9 IP.
